Who is your playoff over achiever?

Added Nash

If the boys go on a run, it'll be because Spezza's gone full blown Vintage, trust me. I think he wins us at least 1 game on his own if we take the cup, that guy oozes wanting it.

Mikheyev does literally everything right but score, its playoff time, and time for his slump to end. I love this dudes game, he starts finishing he will be a PROBLEM.

... and UNAFFORDABLE.

I dont care for indiviudal achievements - I just want the Leafs to make it past the first round

BUT

I have been saying for a while now - the difference makers in these playoffs will most likely be - Jack Campbell, Nick Foligno, Hyman, Nash, Simmonds, Bogosian, Hutton. Defense will make the biggest difference this time around. We need to compete as if every game is game 7.

Imagine what Matty would have to do to be an overachiever

I definitely subscribe to the fact that the 4th line of Thornton-Spezza-Simmonds will be a lot better than people think. All players that want it bad, with boatloads of experience. All guys that can turn up the temperature when games matter most. I think this is going to be a fun unit to watch in the playoffs

My vote was for Sandin. He likely gets Bogosian beside him at some point in this round, freeing him up to skate the puck more, and added confidence to play with the bite that he's shown us in flashes. That and he's getting a go on the top PP unit. He definitely has the chance to be an X factor

Seems unlikely that Bogosian will be back and Sandin will be in the lineup unless there are other injuries on the Blueline.

Why is it that I am in fear of the Zamboni driver making a start against us

Christ

 

[Maplebeasts]

I think Nylander is going to pop off relative to expectations.

 

[Maplebeasts]

Matthews an over-achiever? That would mean he would probably be the run-away Conn Smythe winner.

 

[Bluelines]

Kapanen Yea!
....Damn WE traded him.....pffffttttt........

He scored a beaut yesterday.. miss his speed.

Play as good as McJesus?

We look like a different team with Sandin in the lineup...

Sandin is practicing on the number one PP and taking line rushes on the third pairing. Bogosian just got medically cleared today and was a full participant in practice. I don't mean this to sound rude, but honest question, have you been following at all recently?

Sandin on the PP has a skillset that no other Leaf defender has, he can get the puck to the net, he can get it through traffic to the net. Not the hardest shot in the world but the hard shot that gets blocked will never be a dangerous as a puck that gets to the net.

I think they had Sandn and Bogo paired together in pratice. Looks like Dermott might be the odd guy out.

 

[Beaumaris]

Without a doubt,it’s got to be Andersen.

I'll just leave this here...get ready to be happy....
